And get paid pretty fucking sweet for it I'm sure.
As a physician, my most significant concern with the rampant use of PRP, especially for hair loss is that I fear that sooner or later a provider would inadvertently inject PRP into a patient with nascent skin cancer (BCC. SCC and worse yet melanoma). Nowhere I have heard that a hair restoration specialist is a dermatologist or have asked his/her patient to first get a complete scalp examination by a dermatologist to make sure that he is free of any skin cancer. Injecting PRP into or near a skin cancer, or any cancer for that matter, would result in catastrophic results. I urge all hair restoration specialists to proceed with caution, financial and patient-driven pressure notwithstanding, and to completely ruled out any cancer in the scalp before proceeding with this procedure.
I grimace to think that such a tragic case will be forthcoming in the future. Cheers.
Thank you for this insightful comment
How does one make sure there isn't any skin cancer? Is a biopsy of the area of interest done?
That's the same as for any other injection or biopsy. Presumably you can see where you are injecting so you can see if there is cancer or not
I am 28 years old and recently agreed to doing Mesotherapy with Dutasteride along with PRP. Do you think Mesotherapy with dutasteride will inhibit the drug to get absorbed systematically?
It scares to think me that dutasteride will decrease my SERUM DHT, and not only be limited to scalp DHT
I had skin cancer removed on top of my head a couple years ago. I've recently also started to notice hair loss, and have a scar there. so it kinda double sucks.
Emcyte prp is the gold standard in PRP, a lot of people getting PRP sessions and not finding results is because clinics mostly use cheap kits or machines so they can maximize profit, if you want to get result make sure the clinic uses the best quality PRP machines and kits like Emcyte or Arthrex Angel system
How in the world is the average person to do that? It's not like these techniques and equipment are well known by the public
@@blahblah3432ify 👌
Some says weekly basis dermaroller works as same as prp? Both of them releases growth factor? Is it true??
@@bestrong1955 Both have different mechanisms of action, Microneedling will make controlled injury to the skin (at least in some situations) that can stimulate the production of growth factors and inflammatory cytokines that promote skin healing and possibly hair growth.
The second use of microneedling is to increase the efficacy of drugs (Minoxdill for example) They did a study, half the patients received daily minoxidil, and the other half of the patients received weekly dermarolling sessions (using a 1.5 mm dermaroller) in addition to minoxidil treatment. Results showed that patients using a dermaroller achieved greater benefits than those using minoxidil alone.
Also, I would recommend waiting 2 weeks between microlending sessions to let the skin heal completely and minimize the risk of scarring.
Lastly, I wouldn't recommend using a normal dermaroler device because it will create excessive damage to hair fibers, my recommendation is to use the Derminator 2 microneeling device.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) refers to the use of a patient's own platelet cells from their blood to stimulate hair growth. Platelets are a part of our blood cells and they are rich in various growth factors and cytokines that have the 'potential' to stimulate hair growth
PRP is not helpful for all patients with hair loss but is helpful in a proportion of individuals with hair thinning. In carefully selected patients, current estimates suggest that a benefit is attained in at least 30-40 % of patients.
Of course, the result from PRP requires a good machine, kit, and technique to get the maximum efficacy from it, Using microneedling in the same session with PRP will probably get a better result.
Both of these treatments are considered optional or second-line treatments to be used with the main treatments (for Androgenetic Alopecia DHT blocker whether it was finasteride or dutasteride is the most important thing, Minoxidil topically or orally...etc) of course all of these should be discussed and taken under doctor supervision as they have their own side effects and the doctor is the best to recommend the right dose and to monitor everything closely to minimize side effects and have a clear plan for your specific hair loss type and severity.
Sorry for keeping it this long but I wanted to cover everything about your question.
@@spartangreg1 This comment deserves an answer I swear smh
You are always SO informative and clear in what you are talking about; it's a joy to watch your videos!

I was going to ask you about PRP. So glad you did this! PRP helps with so many things. I worked with a physiatrist who used it for joint pain in her patients with good results.

Great video doc. I have been doing PRP treatment to my patients in my clinic in London for the past 5 years. As a fellow doctor I endorse all what you’ve mentioned in your video. I also wanted to add that using a mesotherapy gun is very effective way of injecting PRP to scalp. As it has a setup in millimetres. So you can select what depth the needles goes inside the scalp. Mostly 4-5mm. Varies between patients. It’s absolutely painless and delivers equal amount of the PRP each time we inject. Furthermore PRFibrin is great for acne scars.
What is your clinic's name? I've just had a transplant and my clinic has recommended two sessions in the next twelve months. :)
Very detailed.😃. Can hardly think of a question after watching your vids.
😱 I’m here for that thumbnail 🙃
Thank you for yet another well-edited, informative video... you’re just plain lovely 🥰 🧠
You’re the most handsome plastic surgeon I follow on TH-cam. Plus your voice is so calming. You could talk all day about anything. 🤗
I Love your channel, you are providing a great service to the public, you should have a million plus subs
This video was very well thought out. Great job!
Thanks Dr Gary, you really explained very well. I want to ask you, what is the suitable anticoagulant for PRP?
What about PRP+microneedling? How effective would that be? It could be an interesting combo for people who want to avoid Minoxidil.
Great and informative as always
This is exciting news. Thank you!
Love your videos! I had my first PRP session this week and this video just showed up in my feed.
Whats the expectation? Do you have to continously do it to maintain results?
Any improvement?
@@madhumitha1875 yes! Big results, my crown area is covered now which is what i was hopping for. I had three sessions up to now. But I also am on minoxidil and finasteride.
@@nicolasdoussine8326 Any side effects of finasteride?
@@GurzS1o1 None from finasteride. Only side effect is itchiness in my scalp from minoxidil (I use the liquid form). I got used to it, and my dermatologist says that it promotes bloodflow to the scapl, so she sees it as a “good” side effect.
When I see Dr. Gary with a head full of hair then that is the treatment I will be getting, until then nothing is good enough.
He has a different form of alopecia (it's an autoimmune condition, alopecia areata). The treatments for alopecia areata are completely different from the treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
Thank you for all the good information. Appreciate it.
Glad to see that you are using a therapeutic prp and not a tube
I had a hair transplant done yesterday and have my PRP scheduled one month from now and can’t be more thrilled honestly. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
hi, how did it go? Should I do PRP first or hair transplant? how did you figure out?
@@Ripu-ee3fr hi buddy, the clinic where I made my hair transplant advised me to do the PRP after transplant so it'd help with recovery and to strengthen my "native" hair. I m still in the "ugly ducklings" phase lol after tomorrow it'll make 2 months since I did the transplant, I still have to wait like 2 more months or a bit more to see improvement, which is absolutely normal and expected :) I'm not a specialist but I'd go with what the clinic suggested :) first transplant then PRP, and my friend, if you have a huge shock loss don't worry, you may think that you did a terrible mistake but it's really normal 🙏 wish you the best
@@tabj2615hey where did you do your procedure? Can you recommend and what was the cost range?
PRP is good for severe dry eye and inflammatory eye disease.
Nice talk as always, Dr. Gary!
Curious if this is currently being done for inflammatory eye disease? If not, any
studies and research being done on this?
How would you use it for dry eye ?
@syafiqk2866 @beatrizt953 They are called autologous serum drops. They are made by drawing your blood, running it through the centrifuge to separate the blood cells from the plasma, and make an ophthalmic suspension for you either to use as drops or instead of using saline reservoir for a scleral contact lens. If you are struggling ask your eye doctor or find one that offers advanced dry/inflammatory eye disease solutions. There are a number of newer RX drops and eyelid/gland treatments available now too.
Thank you Dr. Linkov, I became very familiar with PRP six years ago when my younger daughter went to her Laser Dermatologist in Scottsdale, AZ. I love it,
Thank you, great video and very informative!
I am only 23 years old this year and yet my hair loss is no joke... My Dr suspected me to have androgenic alopecia and I did my first PRP session today! It was quite painful because my scalp was not numbed at all, but it's still bearable for me. I also started topical minoxidil 5% and tablet finasteride today. I'll update here regarding the results afterwards~~ Thanks Dr Gary's advice from this and his other videos :)
Be aware of the side effects of finasteride. I noticed thicker hair, but at the cost of erectile dysfunction and depression, fatigue, lack of motivation and didn’t realize why for like 8 months. Thought I was drinking too much or was sick but got off finasteride and felt way better and no more ED.
Im 21 years old and its depressing how my falls rapidly
@@emiliomortola575 I started really losing hair in the hairline around 23-25 years old. I started on topical minioxil and finasteride, did it for 2 years and it did help the hair I had grow in thicker., but the hairline was pretty much gone Just turned 27 and had 2,300 hair grafts at HMR in Mexico, will go back to the topical but no oral medication for me. I’ll let you how the hairline looks in about 6 months but as of now it seems worth it for the $5,500 I paid (I’m 3 weeks post op now)

Thank you for a thorough explanation of prp vs prf and the best equipment and method to inject. Can you do a video on sirolimus topical for hairloss and facial skin please.
Hey doc, great vid. Just wanted to say I envy how good you look slick bald like this
Dr. Gary, in your practice, have you seen a difference in results between Platlet Rich Plasma vs. Cytokine Rich Plasma scalp injections?
I've had 2 CRP injection treatments this year, but I had some significant shedding approx 2 months after the 1st session, unfortunately. The doctor says I am the exception and that this doesn't occur often. I went ahead with another treatment and am scheduled for a 3rd session at the beginning of the year. I'm sad about the fallout because I feel I took 10 steps back. I can't say I'm in a better condition after 2 treatments, but I'm hopeful.
Thank you for this video. Informative and objective as always! One specific question: is there any risk of excessive clotting or any blood clot related issue since this plasma is "platelet-rich" ? Especially in people with clotting related issues like various thrombophilia factors, EVEN IF they are NOT currently on anticoagulants. Thanks!
No
I heard it doesn't work.. I did it
You should do a video on the potential use of Verteporfin for hair loss and scar free healing.
Thank you for the very informative video! I am 48 and my hair is thinning and want to find out if PRP will make my hair regrow .
I used PRP with embryonic cells. 100% works. I’m 31 and it’s literally rejuvenated my hairline. What a time to be alive. I wish I was rich enough to buy more sessions tho. Lol
How much is it costing you? And no way its embryonic stem cells. Those have been illegal for some time. Maybe adipose derived stem cells?
@@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488 it’s typically $3-$5k per session depending on how much medication is added with the prp
Do you have to keep on doing it to keep your results?
What do you mean embryonic cells bro ?
Where did you get it done, embryonic cells might be the game changer.
hey Doc, i was having doubt, please clarify it, so rather than spending extra dollars on PRP cant we rather use minoxidal solution for rest of the span ? isnt that effective ?
Another amazing video by the most beloved plastic plastic surgeon. Thank you doctor.

@@user-dk3up2nl1m If I may ask, what level of hair loss do you have?
Good morning. I'm female, had a hysterectomy five years ago, no ovaries and am loosing my hair. I also am on blood thinners. Could I do PRP? Does it have to be my bloo or can it be from another person? Thanks for your answers
Thank you for explaining 😊
Never heard of prp...seems to be the best restoration technique yet..
No! I had minor hair loss and tried PRP for three months at $500 a month and hundreds of painful injections by a Dermotologist. It did absolutely zero to help with hair loss. Apparently some doctors actually numb your scalp properly, so ask questions. Also, make sure the centrifuge is high quality. Finasteride in combination with minoxidil gave me much better results. Lastly, ensure your doctor is incredibly skilled, preferably a doctor only focusing hair treatment. Some Dermatologists only do PRP as a part of their Botox practice.
I’ve tried it but only went once, it was irritating and you leave looking like several wasps stung your head. The part that irritated me was the cost $1.5-2k every 3 months to be stung by several wasps, but it will NOT grow a hair line back, only work on density.. after surgery I might reconsider if the painless option is available and maybe a little more affordable

How does this procedure compare to mesotherapy, which is what my dermatologist recommended for androgenic alopecia? I would like to bring up PRP at my next appointment and this video has been extremely helpful. Thank you!
No use for androgenic alopecia
I believe there is more research and efficacy for PRP. Mesotherapy involves the administration of superficial injections. They usually contain diluted drugs such as minoxidil, vitamins, and nutrients. While PRP treatment involves injecting platelet-rich plasma derived from an analogous blood sample from you into the affected areas of the scalp. You should do research of studies from NIH or other medical sources. Be better off using Rogaine (minoxidil) is my understanding than mesotherapy. I’m no doctor but I question why your dermatologist would recommend. May not have equipment for PRP.
It is a mesotherapy but instead of HA or PDRN you use PRP or PRF. The depth is about the same - 4 mm. There is a liquid PRF which Dr Linkov omitted in his review, PRF does not come in clot form only.
Funny how well you do that shocked face on every video promo, it’s really too funny 😁
An excellent objective analysis, and I'd become patient if I didn't live so far away.
PRP gave my body new life by restoring connective tissue damage from my hEDS. I couldn't even do slow physical therapy because my connective tissue was so damaged my muscles in my back weren't even holding my muscles in the appropriate place. I can't wait to see this used in stretch marks and other issues ☺️ especially with my tendency to reject foreign substances in my body, it's great that I'm offered something that I don't have risk if allergic reactions or rejections.
Hi there ,, do you get injected into your muscles ?
@@gummyerin sorry for some reason TH-cam doesn't give me proper notifications. I get them injected around my connective tissue, where my ligaments are. The guy I see does everything guided by ultrasound.

I've had 9 sessions over a period of 12 months, still losing hair. Obviously didn't work for me so have decided to stop. It might work for others, I believe we just have to go into it with an open mind.
It’s a complete scam. Cheaper to get a hair transplant and maintain with fin/dutasteride
@@tf2368its Not a scam. It all depends on the person. I did a 3 session prp injections...and it worked in thickening my hair! If a person is too far gone in hair...it wont work.
Thank you for the great explanation doc. Question. I've got my first FUE transplant 1 week ago and my Doctor has appointed me for a PRP session until next week (15 days in all after surgery)... Is this long interval standard?
Great video!
I regrew my hair with PRP by making my own PRP kit back in 2014 (before it was widely known) and I have my own centrifuge technique.
Intriguing. Do you have a medical background? Doing it with someone else must be very expensive. Do it yourself might be very dangerous. Tough choices!

I think so. He alluded to that. Laser light therapy might be something to check out also.
Isn’t this far too expensive for the average person in America? I have even heard of Americans who flew all the way to Turkey because it is so much cheaper there! Lol
Thank you, Doctor! 🙂
Thanks for all your advice watch all your vids ❤
I did PRP combined withminoxidil once a couple weeks ago. Not sure if it works but i am really dreading having to do this three times a year every year for the rest of my life. It's so expensive and most of all painful. Damn it but i don't want to be bald
Like how expensive? And I guess insurance won't cover it, right?
3 times is for the first year. You can do less the following year
Only need it 2x a year after your initial "once a month for 3 months"
From my experience prp does work, but it is very expensive and you have to continue the shots indefinitely. Cheaper to get a hair transplant. I hurt over time getting your scalp jabbed
Your thumbnail looked cheesy to me so I almost didn’t click but I’m glad I did because your vibe is great. I think your thumbnails should show the same maturity level as your content!
Thank you for information 🙏
If a hair transplant facility does not offer PRP during surgery, is it better to get PRP done before or after a hair transplant surgery?
If there's no limit, start before.
After is whats usually used to give the grafts the best chance of survival... straight away and maybe 7-14 days after.
I got 3 sessions of PRP and saw no results . Then last year I read about PDO thread for hair growth. I assumed it wouldn’t work like PRP. But I went ahead and got 25 threads inserted into my scalp. Lo and behold, 3 months later I started getting crazy amount of growth all over my scalp 😱😱😱. Totally blown away by the results and I am getting another session next month . I have also started taking 1.25 mg of oral minoxidil + nutrafol to help boost results and now have hair on my chin too 🤣🤣

Just like we brush our teeth everyday as a preventative, the same should be done for hair loss in males, we should introduce pro-active measures before hair loss has a chance to take hold. These measures should include such thing such as Capixyl or Procapil. I use a formula which utilises both of these products and I have successfully turned around my mild thinning. My father and all the males in my family had lost their hair by my current age; I on the other hand have a full head of hair with no sign of further thinning. I believe the preventative measures are the answer.
What brand capixyl?
Capixyl works like finasteride doesn't it? It blocks dht.

Hello. I've been having PRP treatment since July. it's now been 8 months and I have had 8 sessions. I can confirm that I have noticed 20-25% extra hair growth, I can't see my scalp as easily as before and I'm shedding less hair. So far the treatment seems to be working. I just have no idea how long it will last after the treatment ends.

@@RottenbergZhenya Hi there,
Last year, I noticed that my hair was thinning again, so i did a bit of research and opted for rosemary oil. I started it in August. my hair is stronger and I have more cover. I would say rosemary oil definitely works. It is a far far cheaper option than prp with similar effects.
I did prp for hair. Didn’t notice a difference until I started propecia. Sidenote, I’m in my 30s with minimal hairless but wanted to stop and prevent
Just to clarify, do you think the results from Propecia worked in conjunction with what you'd already done using PRP? Or do you think PRP simply did nothing, and all the positive results were just from the Propecia?
@@WastedPo prp is mostly useless. The change must have from propicia.
Hi Dr. Gary I have PRP done 3 months ago and I'm about to finish my third set next week. I noticed alot of smaller fine hairs about 1 to 2 inches falling out everytime I shower or comb my hair. Is this normal or is my hair growth from the first month falling out because PRP is not effective anymore?
I did my 4 sittings, there were small hair which fell off at the end of 3rd week, overall hair density has decreased, even though I'm applying minoxidil and taking finpecia orally.
Though at the 6th month, i got hepatitis, which reversed my progress ( of small hairs)

@@drgarylinkov Thank you for the response! In which cases could it be effective?
I'm suffering from it for the second time in 2 years (female), but this time its worse than last time might be due to stress.
Prp did not work for me, not to mention it was so painful to the extent I felt it was a torture. Always ask your doctor if prp is something they do it regularly and if it is pain free and keep in mind you have to keep doing it. I did 3 sessions and I could barely see any increase (My wife says no increase at all). Too expensive for a min result, doesn't worth it.

We're based in California!
Thank you so much for doing this video on PRP and in particular; the Emcyle System. I am a 60+ year old female. I just had a scalp biopsy done by a Dermatologist. The diagnoses; Scarring Alopecia. The differential diagnoses includes Lichen Planopilaris and Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia. No evidence of Lupus. From the diagnoses I got from my doctor this sounds difficult to treat. I am just starting to learn about this diagnoses. I read this type of hair loss causes permanent hair loss. My doctor is starting me on Steroid injections in my scalp 1x/month for six month. I am wondering if this PRP treatment could be of any benefit? I do not want to try it if it would be of no benefit and also because it is an expensive and life long treatment. If it would be of benefit, how do you find a doctor that uses this Emcycle System to do the PRP treatments? I live in NE Florida. Would it be possible for you do a video on the different types of hair loss that occur and the treatments that may benefit patients for specific types of hair loss. Thanks for all your videos, Dr. Linkov; you do a great job of educating the public on this difficult problem. It is so devastating to women. Women are not accepted as men are with hair loss.
Nobody is accepted , people just move on
@@tomshaji You are wrong about that; it is much more devastating to women.
I think it helped initially and then hair thinned out, based on how quick it thinned out again I'd need to do this every 6 months.
In a very good fb group on bio optimization they asked the group what worked and a lot of other people seemed to say prp was no good. I also did stem cells with the prp and still was minimal.
I've seen better results with a combination of biotin, cysteine and some other minerals while doing topical serums that work like minoxidil but from natural sources.
I also do derma stamping and infrared on the scalp.
Just buzz your hair and let nature take its course. That’s what I did.
One clinic told me ideally you’d want to do it every 3-6 months
When it worked for you initially, was it much growth or little? Thanks
I was told if your hair loss is hereditary if you stop doing it, it’ll go back to the way it was but if hair loss was caused by other factors it’ll stay the way it is after the treatment
@@SuperKoreanzombie There was some growth for sure. Although I was doing a lot of things for it at the time. The area that was balding the most doubled up in hair follicles. I really think it was the stem injections into the scalp.
@@freezecheeze That makes sense. It's definitely hereditary but I like to think I can slow the clock down. Derma stamping and stems definitely helped though.
Thank you for this how many sessions does one have to undergo all in all
I´ve met Dr. Schokrum, supposedly the "father" of PRF, we dentists use it often in Implantology
I had this treatment for a while until my doctor moved to another country and I have to say... it really worked for me. 3 or 4 times better than using Minoxidil.
Who do you have now?
Did you retain the benefits or do you have to keep doing it to get benefits from it
@@jarrodmason4964 I'm using Minoxidil. Is good but the PRP is way better and you only have to go to the doctor once a month. Minoxidil is a daily product and it's kind of exhausting.
@@ForzaTerra89 Kind of. I noticed my hair grew thicker A LOT. Then I started to use Minoxidil and I kept the benefits from the PRP therapy. But Minoxidil is a daily use product and is really exhausting to use.
@@con2mms2000 so you kept the benefit from prp using minoxidil
Is it true for diabetic patients that any bodily hair loss besides the head is not treatable due to the blood flow loss? IE: Legs, arms, etc.
I can't say for sure with body hair loss, although i'd assume it would be the same (why would blood in your head be too much different to body), but the bloodflow theory for head hairloss is a myth that's been disproven already. It's one of those tales that people believe for hairloss similar to the old "hairloss is from your mothers side", which we know is obviously not true. I think for hair loss due to lack of blood flow in the body, it would have to be extremely severe to the point of loosing a limb for you to loose body hair due to lack of blood.
@@Lootzuh no. Sorry. My doctors all say the same thing. I only asked here in case this doctor might now done new technology that could provide miracles. Lol. you’re head heart is closer to your heart. With diabetes, the hair can no longer grow bc the blood supply dies off. So for example if you took transplanted hair, it wouldn’t take bc you can’t create blood flow where it has died. I asked my doctor bc I used to have fairly hairy legs and now there’s hardly any. Especially below the knee. And I have done my best to take care of my blood sugar but it has still affected blood flow in my feet and legs.
Okay I did a bit of digging and seems like you're right when it comes to diabetes and body hair loss. Apparently it can cause deposits within blood vessels throughout the body. However, it does seem this wouldn't effect hair growth on the scalp. Although diabetes does seen to have the potential to cause forms of alopecia which could effect the head hair. Hope your condition eases for you🙏
@@Lootzuh Thanks! It’s pure vanity so I will live I guess! Lol
Clever Man ⭐️
Thank you for your channel
What about stem cell therapy for hair loss? Would be interested on your views on that.
Or medical cloning of hair-folics to awoid running out of donor-folics.
@@bell4textu973 medical cloning of hair follicles? Never heard of that, what is it and how does it work?
@@amazonjunglez1188 They've been working on this for a while now. Still waiting......
@@bell4textu973 that's been in the works by multiple companies for over a decade now. Dont hold your breath, its gonna be a while yet. And when it does drop expect it to be absurdly expensive
@@budmeasap Again,what is it?
Definitely a disappointment that researchers haven't found a cure for typical male pattern baldness, other than what is out there now in terms of various medications. It would be a huge breakthrough.
I’m pretty sure there is a cure for baldness out there, just not released to the public. Think about how much money pharmaceutical companies would lose when people stop having to take minoxidil and finasteride everyday
Yeah unfortunately, in my field we do software/computer engineering we almost solved all the problems related, I’m not sure about those doctors, genetic engineers what they’re doing.
All I know is PRP worked for a torn tendon in my hip and kept me from surgery. Great stuff for torn tendons; so it makes sense to me that it's shown to work for hair loss too.
bro trust me i had the same problem man, than my docter recommended me a spray (to grow back the bald places and stop the hairloss proces) and now i guess it is finally growing back and getting thick agian.. i wish you all the best too bro!
Muchas explicaciones de la técnica y estudios en papel pero no muestra ni una sola imagen de alguien mostrando mejoría capilar con este tratamiento. Una imagen vale más que mil palabras.
I just hate the fact it costs so much when its my own blood!
Let's get ourselves a medical bestie and ask them buy a centerfuge machine. Get a medical done to make sure your an ok candidate and save a TON of money 😅
